Can you wear a navy blue dress to a wedding? (Day and evening guest.)

Hi, I've seen a lovely navy blue brocade vintage style dress, but not sure if it's too evening for a wedding day guest? I'd wear it with pearls to lighten it up a bit... What do you think? I'll try to link the dress in a mo. Smile

I wore a navy dress to a day and evening wedding a few weeks ago. Gold shoes and a cerise pashmina, looked lovely if I do say so myself!

Ooh, that does sound lovely! Maybe something to lift it for the day time then?
This is the dress, I hope it works...

I'm wearing one on Tuesday!

That's good. I do love the dress, but wasn't sure. It says evening dress in the description and does look very evening.

Has my link worked?

Yes it has - I think that's lovely

Your link doesn't work for me OP, but I am sure it is gorgeous.

Mine was an October wedding. Navy dress with nice embellishment (part of dress) around the neck, lovely floaty sleeves, and I wore a pinky/purple irridescent wrap, silver shoes and bag.

I got compliments! Was delighted, it's lovely when that happens.

You will be fine, it is not black or white, they are the two MN no no no lol.

Hope you enjoy the wedding.

This is mine for Tuesday with gold bag and shoes. No hat/fascinator

Your link isn't working for me but I wore a navy dress to a wedding.
It had two tiers to it with tiny beads around the neckline.
It was a formal dress so not something you would wear to work or interview, I've worn it since to a plush Christmas dinner.

Dress is lovely OP Smile I wore a navy dress with burgundy & gold accessories to an all day October wedding and I got a few compliments on it. Have fun!

I have with silver accessories. I looked good to (well in my opinion ) Grin

Navy dress for me tomorrow, red shoes and a red cropped cardie if it gets chilly.

Yes!
One of my favourite people wore a black jumpsuit and red lippy to my wedding. She looked great
